History of our financial centres

We have many local offices, with our first dating back many years. Do you remember Eaton's, the catalogue and department store? Our story begins there.

The Toronto office originally opened in 1904; however the financial services were only available to Eaton’s employees. In 1971, located in the iconic Eaton Centre on Yonge Street, the Toronto office became one of the first financial centres in the network to open to the general public. The Toronto branch then moved and was uniquely located on the ground floor of the Desjardins Insurance1 head office on St. Clair Avenue West. At the end of December 2010 we moved to our Scarborough location.

Our locations:

Scarborough

Two Toronto offices merged with another one of our offices in January 2011 to form this busy office located in Scarborough.

Mississauga

The Mississauga office is comprised of two of our offices that joined together in January 2011 in a new location in Mississauga. The office is located in a busy commercial section of the city and has our big bright pixel board sign!

Thunder Bay

The Thunder Bay office joined the Ontario Central Region in 2006 expanding our accessibility to even more clients across the northern part of the Province of Ontario.
